As the clock ticks past midnight CET, may I wish you a very happy Europe Day.

From Maastricht, here’s Andre Rieu and the Johann Strauss Orchestra performing “Ode to Joy”.

Frohe, sonnige und erholsame Feiertage 🌞 vielleicht mit einer etwas anderen Interpretation der Ode an die Freude 🤘

…burst forth, energised, and fill the world with joyous sound. Shining out into the darkness, hopeful of a better future.

Incidentally this is where Europe finds ourselves now, things have been going well, from modest beginnings exceeding what many thought possible, yet we must now make a positive choice: Should this project of ours wither away as we face a harsher world, or shall we come together to…

Some real joy for today to celebrate with, not of the confected/commercialised Xmas type ... Beethoven's "Ode To Joy" as a flashmob performed by Sabadell's orchestra. Every time I watch this I see more details, and beauty, and I tear up 😢

As an ardent European, they played this at Isabel's Irish citizenship ceremony, and it simply melts me. We are better together 🇪🇺

My best moment: imo so many but - the walk-on of the 2nd violin section at 02:20 as it builds, the music sweetens, the joy of the woman captured then at 02:35. Yours?

Have I posted this clip at Xmas before on the Fedi? Yes
And will I post it again - you bet!

Enjoy, and spread the joy :boost_requested:

Getting pumped 💪 #Beethoven #SymphonyNo9 #OdeToJoy

Ich bin ein überzeugter Europäer. Nationalistisches Denken gehört ins Mittelalter. Deshalb mal wieder die Europahymne "Ode to Joy".

I believe all of us have at least one thing in our lives that provides top-notch #comic material. Mine must be our senior #pug Joy 🐶, and these are my little odes to him.

He just can’t stop sniffing and exploring the same patch of grass like he was crossing the Amazon jungle.🌱🌴🌿

1/n

@heinragas Me whenever I read about features "not available in the EU". * #OdetoJoy intensifies*

whatever happened to flash mobs?

this one is 9 years old.

how soul dead have we become when nobody feels it’s worth the time and effort to simply throw some beauty into the air… just because?

if you don’t cry a bit listening, I feel bad for you.

It's 9 May, Europe Day.

And it's the 200th anniversary of Beethoven's 9th symphony.

And @danielpeake isn't streaming so we need more muppets in our lives.
